Summary
"... The Pale King stood there in his dim workshop staring into the pit of ash and charcoal. His mind searched for words to conjure a response that the nightmarish creature could not hear, but came up empty. Perhaps the stress of his visit had finally caught up to him. He brought his hand to rub his temple and, slowly, his gaze drifted to the silver apparatus on the table next to him. The first part of the plan was complete. But as tired as he was, there was still much left to do and he was determined. A low, deep sigh escaped from deep in his chest as a thought echoed annoyedly in his mind; ‘Gods.’ "
What if the Pale King had taken a different route in snuffing out the infection? What if the Radiance fell, but persisted in a weakened form? Will she grow content with her predicament? Will she have her revenge on the wyrm or will she find her herself getting used into the life of an ordinary bug in Hallownest? And most of all, is she the same being she used to be?
Only time and trials will tell. -

Summary
“Hey, I thought I might see you before the big launch,” you call out as they approach you. “Nerves getting the better of you?”
They don't reply, just... look at you for a while. They slowly scan over your clothes, your hands, your face, lingering at your scarred eye.
You arch a brow at them. “Need something, hatchling?”
Eventually, they settle within themself, square their shoulders, and look at you. “Think you can give me a hand with something for a minute?”
or - a series of goodbyes that didn't stick.
